it is monday january 21st 2013. welcome to a special inauguration day edition of "cbs this morning" live from the national mall in washington. our guests include robert gibbs, condoleezza rice, kristin gillibrand gillibrand, and james taylor. and the hostage crisis in algeria comes to a bloody end. many are still waiting to learn if loved ones made it out alive. plus the super bowl is set. if you were hoping harbaugh's team made it to the

championship, we have a great news. but we begin this morning with today's "eye opener," your world in 90 skojdeconds. >> and will to the best of my ability defend the constitution of the united states. >> so help you god? >> so help you god. >> congratulations, mr. president obama. president obama begins the second term in the white house. thousands of security officers are getting ready. city officials expect as many as 70,000 people. >> he's going to address the crowd, the nation and the world. >> expected to lay out his vision for the world in his second term. >> measures to help the economy, energy. >> i think immigration is really the big issue, frankly. >> the most significant event of the weekend, i love her bangs. the deaths in algeria has reached at least 81. >> at least one american is among the dead.

>> very cool temperatures across the midwest. >> windchills down to minus 50. >> this time the swearing in flawless. >> and when he was done his daughter sasha took note. >> i did it. >> all tha zone for the touchdown! the 49ers are going to the super bowl. >> i want to thank my parents, and go ravens. >> and baltimore is heading to new orleans. >> brothers coaching against each other in the super bowl. >> -- and all that matters -- >> president obama begins his second term publicly and on martin luther king day. >> be loving and be strong. don't give in and don't give up. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> his inauguration committee is receiving fewer donations than in 2009. it will feature fewer inaugural balls, a shorter parade andce from

the black eyed peas. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." our home for today is the national mall. this is just the start of what will be a busy day and night for president obama. >> that's right. and we begin this morning with a look at the timeline for the main events we'll see over the next few hours. president obama's first public appearance comes at 8:45 eastern time when he attends a service at st. john's episcopal church. at 10:45 he begins his journey from the white house to the capitol. the ceremony itself kicks off at 11:30 with the president taking the oath of office at 11:55. his inaugural address begins at noon followed by a luncheon in the capitol around 1:00 p.m. and then everybody heads out again for the inaugural parade. that's at 2:30. >> we have correspondents all over washington covering all of today's events including the president's inaugural address.

we go first to major garrett at the white house who has new information about that speech. major, good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah norah. president obama did not divulge much about that speech but in playful moment with the first lady he did confront a pressing issue that has been dominating the headlines. >> it is my distinct honor and pleasure to welcome the love of my life and our president for the next four years, barack obama. >> to address the most significant event of this weekend, i love her bangs. she looks good. she always looks good. >> the president said inaugural festivities must soon yield to tougher tasks. >> after we celebrate, let's make sure we work as hard as we can to pass on an america that is worthy not only of our past

but also of our future. >> as for his inaugural address, remained coy. >> i'm going to be pretty brief. there are a limited number of good lines and you don't want to use them all up tonight. >> he begins with a two-act play, brown strokes from the front of the capitol and details three weeks later from the state of the union. >> he's going to lay out his vision for the second term and where he thinks the country needs go in the years ahead and a blueprint in the state of the union. so we view these speeches as a package. >> the now defunct campaign will try to focus on deficit control and gun control. on the last issue republicans can see democrats in distress. chief among them senate majority leader harry reid. >> i don't think senator harry reid brings it to the senate floor because he has six

democrats up in election in two years. >> this and other difficulties appeared miles away as mr. obama recited the constitutional oath that cemented the start of his new term. >> i did it. >> sasha was referring to the mix jum four years ago where the chief justice and the president said some of the words of the oath out of sequence prompting a do-over here at the white house a couple of hours later. as sasha said nobody messed up this time and as said a couple of moments ago, that's probably not too bad. robert gibbs was an adviser to the obama campaign and served as the white house's first press secretary. welcome. >> thank you. >> you have seen it you have read it, characterize it. >> i think it's hopeful, and it talks about the values and the visions and the ideals that bring us to this very moment as

america. you'll hear the president talk a lot about what we have to do in this country together to make progress on the big challenges that we face. and, look, it's not just -- one party can't solve these issues. not even just those in government can tackle these big challenges. all americans have to be involved if we're going to move beyond what's paralyzed this town for so long and make some progress. >> he'll try to recapture the spirit of bipartisanship? >> he will and, look. i think it's a real challenge to everybody in this country, to lay aside their partisanship and try to make some real progress for the country. and, look charlie, it's not as if we're going to solve the really big issues or the really big div we can if we sit down long enough work together and talk together and make some progress on the issues we face. >> i heard from some of my sources the president finished

his speech relatively early on saturday. exclusively they're writing at the very last minute of these inaugural addresses. what's different this year? >> i think he feels very comfortable with what he's got, very at ease with what he wants to say, and understands the moment he and the country are in, and is anxious to get started. >> let's talk about the second term because one of the things that happens in a second term is advisers move on. and a lot of the senior advisers move on. you've moved on. david plouffe has moved on. a lot of people are leaving. how's that going to leave the president for the second term? >> the great thing about that building is there are literally dozens and dozens of talenting people. >> only one indispensable man there. >> absolutely. look. all of us are close enough by phone or by car that if he calls and needs something as i've told people you say, yes, sir.

>> go ahead. let me say it. is there one line that will come oust this speech that we'll be talking about tomorrow? >> well i don't want to get that far ahead. i think there's several lines in which i think the president very much meets the moment of where we are. >> and then the controversy about whether enough women serving in leadership in the white house, do you think that will change? >> look. i worked with you noeknow two of the smartest people i've ever worked with. if you look at people like kathleen sebelius or janet napolitano it's hard to imagine there are two maybe more important agencies that we deal with each day. one is implementing with health care and one keeps our country safe. so i think women will be well represented. >> this talk probably made him focus on it more though. >> look. he's heard this talk before, but at the same time again, he lives in a house with three remarkably

strong women. he doesn't need to read the newspaper to know what it's like to be around very strong women. >> all right, robert gibbs. thank you very much. as is tradition, president obama has a full slate of public events on tap for the inauguration, and nancy cortes is at the west front of the capitol where the swearing-in will be taking place. nancy, good morning, and will we see some former presidents today? >> reporter: we will indeed norah. we'll see presidents clinton and carter. we will not see both presidents bush. the elder, as you know, is still ill. he's recovering. and the younger sends his regrets. what's remarkable about this day is how carefully choreographed it is. the minute that michelle walks out the front door with the red curtain around it what time the dignitaries walk out, what time the president himself walks out. and at 11:55 on the dot he gets sworn in by chief justice john roberts. he'll be using two bibles today.

that's not unprecedented. three presidents in the past have done the same. the first belonged to president lincoln. he used it in his swearing-in in 1861. and the second belonged to martin luther king jr. it was his traveling bible and it's fitting because today is martin luther king day. after the swearing-in, the president and the first lady family and friends, congressional leaders all head in to statuary hall for lunch. this is a tradition that dates back to 1889. they'll dine on bison and good old-fashioned apple pie. >> we go to chief correspondent and host of "face the nation" bob schieffer. he's covering his 12th inaugurations. good morning. >> actually it's 13. i came to lbj's with my mom. she got an invitation.

the first one i covered, you're absolutely right, was 1968. and hearing robert gibbs talk about he will stress togetherness and trying to you know, heal this partisan divide it made me think of theodore roosevelt in his inaugural speech. he said at one point our relations with other powers are important, he said, but even more important are our relations among ourselves. and it's been a long time since this capitol has been quite as divided as it is now. i remember 1968 the vietnam war was tearing the country apart. nixon had just been elected, and as his motorcade approached the white house, some protesters actually threw rocks at it. so the nation has been divided before, but, you know always on inauguration day, we look forward to a good speech. if you look in the history books, many times the words that are in the history books come

from presidents' inaugural speeches. so i'm, among other thing, really looking forward to what he's going to say. they've been very very tight with any kind of hint about what's in the speech. i think robert gibbs probably gave you more this morning on that than we've heard so far, charlie. >> yeah. he'll be hearing from him. there is also this. the president's been meeting with historians and said in those conversations that he's aware of the second term and what's expected and he has cited fdr because he dealt with the economic issues and president eisenhower because he dealt with coming home from war. clearly he is looking and understands the reality of second terms. >> i don't think there's any question about that. they're like retaking the vows or sometimes almost like a second marriage, you know. in that first go-round and we

had this tremendous crowd turn out in washington. probably only a third or half as many people expected this time around, you just can't recreate something like that. but there's no question about it. the main job this president is going to have to do, i mean the specifics, of course gun control, getting our finances in order, all of that but the overriding thing he has to do is find some way to get congress and the white house and washington working again because our political system charlie, is broken. it's not able to fix the problems that this country faces. and we've got to do that. >> bob schieffer, thank you. bob will be back for our cbs news live coverage of the inauguration that starts at 10:00 a.m. eastern after this special three-hour edition of "cbs this morning." and turning for the moment to other stories, the hostage

crisis in algeria is over and the death toll is over 80 and dozens are missing. mark phillips has more. good morning. >> the numbers themselves are changing and don't tell the full story. the dead hostages identified so far including six countries, one from the united states three from the philippines, three from britain with three more missing. in japan and norway they're expecting further bad news as well. >> reporter: it had been a major battle along the new front in the war against islamic terrorism. the algerians have had to launch two assaults to finally subdue a large, and by the look of the weapons displayed afterward a well equipped group of kidnappers. in the end the algerians said they had to move in because they feared the attackers were going to blow up the gas facility and the rest of the hostages they were holding. the nationalities of some of the dead are still to be confirmed.

the bodies mute lated to be identified. and those who survive vd been speaking of the hell they have lived for. alan wright from scotland had been hiding in an office and managed to get a satellite phone call out to his family, but what do you tell them? >> i don't want my last words to be telling my wife saying. >> wright managed to get away with a group of algerian hostages, but it wasn't an easy decision. >> you don't know what's out there. we know the terrorists are dressed the same as the security forces. it was a huge decision, do you stay or do you go. >> reporter: the kidnappers who had feed themselves as a masked brigade on the website said they were retaliating for the french-lead retaliation taking place in next-door mali and they

vowed further attacks. the equipment, the uniforms the fact that the algerians say they had maps of the facility and possibly planted some people on the inside as employees, these are all signs the islamist militants are organized. they gave motivation for the attacks but the information is it has been planned for some time and this attack will not be the last. norah and charlie? >> mark phillips thank you. a plane veered off the runway at new york liberty airport last night. it touched down four tires blew out and the twin engine jets swerved on to the taxi way. there ware eight passengers and five crew members aboard and no one was hurt. this morning the san francisco 49ers and the baltimore ravens are getting ready to head to the super bowl. as jeff glor reports, two coaching brothers will battle for historic bragging rights in new orleans. >> michael james for the

touchdown. >> reporter: sunday's nfl matchups saw two teams twoonld brothers return for the second consecutive season for the national conference championships. this time they broke through. it sets up an unprecedented sports sibling rivalry on the field at super bowl xlvii. >> gore takes it into the end zone for the touchdown! >> reporter: first, jim harbaugh's 49ers beat them. at one point they trail 17-0 but mounted a record nfc championship comeback with the help of second year quarterback colin kaepernick, a mid-season replacement. >> we're excited for the team and everybody. >> reporter: brother john steered the baltimore ravens through a second year handing the patriots their first ever loss in a championship game at home. 28-13. >> he throws and he's intercepted in the end zone. baltimore is heading to new

orleans. >> reporter: ravens' team leader and hall of famer ray lewis will end his 17-year career following the super bowl. >> your retirement is on hold for two more weeks. >> we did it we did it we did it. we're on our way to the super bowl, man. that's awesome. >> reporter: 13 days from now the stage is set not only for the sport's next champion -- >> i don't know if we dreamed this big. we had a few dreams a few fights, a few arguments. >> reporter: but bragging rights for the newest first family. >> i can't wait to be in new orleans. >> i know. it's either the harbowl or the bro p brobowl. >> the har becausebaughs will do that as they go head

cold this morning. not as cold as yesterday. mid 20s in places like frederick and. sunshine mixed with clouds. highs >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by the power of weight watchers, completely online.

the ultimate celebration of democracy creates the ultimate test of security. we'll show you the team keeping the first family and hundreds of thousands more safe. and she is one of the best known figures from the george w. bush white house. now former secretary of state condoleezza rice joins cbs news and we'll ask rice about inauguration day and what she thinks about obama's administration's response about algeria next on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by mercedes-benz.

. welcome back to "cbs this morning" from the national mall in washington. president obama's first inauguration 2009 had the largest attendance of any event in the history of washington, d.c. about 1.8 million people. >> now today's crowds are expected to be far more modest but we can already hear the tunes cranking behind us and a big crowd has already gathered. chip reid is here on the mall for a preview. chip, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, norah and charlie. i'm about eight or nine blocks from the u.s. capitol. as you can see, there's a smattering of people. and over here you can see people streaming in. but four years ago this area was absolutely packed with people

and eventually the mall filled up all the way from the capitol two miles away to the lincoln memorial. as you said 1.8 million people. that's a record. this year they're expecting between 500,000 to 700,000, just a third of that. keep in mind that's still the fourth largest inaugural crowd ever. it's only small by comparison to the record-setting crowd of four years ago. norah and charlie? >> all right. chip reid, thank you. with us now is former secretary of state condoleezza rice who has just been named as cbs news contributor. secretary rice good morning. >> good morning. >> welcome. >> thank you. >> perfect timing since you served two terms with president george w. bush and foreign policy will be happening in the second term. >> the first thing that strikes me on a day like today is what a wonderful celebration this is

with our democracy. the peaceful transfer of power. of course president obama is being affirmed again, but we look at our institutions. you see the supreme court justice swear in the president. it's a wonderful thing and it's something that when you've traveled around the world, not every country can take this moment for granted. when the will of the people is confirmed and affirmed the way we're going to see today. >> the president is speaking to the world, he's speaking to the united states, he's speaking to the people in washington and he's speaking to republicans. what does he need to say to republicans? >> on inaugural day, it is really the high point for any presidency, i think, because after that we start to get back to our regular criticism, and we did this wrong and that wrong, and so i would hope the president would use the opportunity to say i've won the election, but this is now for all americans to move forward together. not everyone agreed with the president's agenda in the election, but he won it fair and square. and now it's a question of

reunited ding the country around big issues, perhaps around immigration, perhaps getting our fiscal house in order. it requires now a kind of humility and a reaching across the aisles. and reaching across the aisles by the way, means reaching out to americans who also have not voted him but now today affirm him too. >> what's the biggest challenge in foreign policy because as you well know it offer dominates the second term. >> there's no doubt the middle east is going to be the biggest challenge. it's possible you could have something happen in north korea, for instance something to keep an eye on so asia looks less stable. but when you look at the events you just talked about, you see that the middle east the malignancy of al qaeda is spreading into other parts of the world. doing it with a vehemence that perhaps a few years ago we might have hoped we were not going to see again. and so the middle east trying to

hopefully find a way to make the arab spring about which we were all so hopeful just a little while ago start to bear fruit for democracy and tolerance, trying to do something about al qaeda and its spread into north africa, and perhaps even returning to the issue of the palestinian problems and something with the israelis and palestinians. >> and always iran. >> and always iran as a shadow over the chaos in the middle east. iran's revolutionary deal and its tendency to make sflubltrouble. >> we should note there's music in the background as it's started already. i remember covering bush president bush who you worked for, and his second inaugural was the pushing of the reset button in some ways around the world. do you think there's something president obama needs do in this second inaugural address?

>> well every second inaugural is to deal with the consequences of what you did in the first, and certainly i think in the middle east the sense that perhaps the united states is not assive active and as central. there needs to be a strong statement about that. some concerns among our alies. that needs to beaddressed and finally to the american people we need to be engaged. we don't have the option to leave the stage, yes, we're a little bit weary, yes we have problems, but american leadership is needed in this world, it's desired in this world, and without it neither our interests nor our values will be well served. >> it's always true that as we set here today something will challenge the president that neither us nor him could have imagined at this day. i want to -- he's going to take the oath of office on a bible from abraham lincoln and also dr. king. this is dr. king's birthday too.

when you think of dr. king and the new memorial for him, what do you think? >> i think of how far this country has come but i think of the need to continue the reconciliation of the first defect that was america's slavery. we still have a long way to go we're not yet race-aligned. poverty and race and poor education is still a very bad combination. we have a lot of work to be done, but, my goodness how far this country has come. >> secretary rice, thank you and we're so glad you're here. >> thank you. and security is intense here in washington. with more than 6,000 officers on the beat. some of them are hiding in plain sight. we go behind the scenes. that's next on "cbs this morning."

more than 2,000 police officers from around the country were sworn in as deputy u.s. marshals yesterday right here in washington, and they'll be patrolling today along the d.c. police force, secret service, fbi, and other agencies. bob orr takes a closer look at the security behind this ceremony. >> reporter: at union station, tsa viper security teams are checking trains and passengers. in a show of force designed to be a deterrent. >> if someone walks in and sees a group of officers and turns around immediately and leaves the station, that's a good indication that perhaps they have something to hide. >> reporter: not all security is so obvious. these two men with backpacks are undercover behavioral detection officers working in tandem with

uniformed patrols at rail stations and airports. along d.c.'s waterfront coast guard fast boats are increasing surveillance runs. this is a floating command center. for 48 hours surrounding the inaugural time frame these waters around washington will be closed as more than 20 coast guard and police boats conduct patrols of 20 miles of shore watch. and at the edges of the restricted zone, the coast guard is watching for any suspect boaters. >> if they're in key specific areas or near critical infrastructure, you know if they're lingering there longer than normal, if they're taking photographs from a certain angle. >> reporter: a large swath of downtown washington from the capitol to the white house is cordoned off, accessible only through metal detectors at check points. in all more than 10,000 police officers federal agents and national guardsmen are on duty. the secret service is coordinating the efforts from this op center where analysts

are monitoring officer valance cameras. deborah smith runs the office. >> based on what we're hearing and seeing from our partners and what we're seeing internally, we feel that we are prepared for this event. >> reporter: and at this moment you know of no credible threat. >> no credible threat at this moment. >> reporter: but nothing's being left to chance. for "cbs this morning," bob yore in washington. john miller is a former fbi assistant director john good morning. >> good morning. >> listening to what bob orr had to say, what's going on behind the scenes at this moment with so many people and the president on view? >> well, bob talked about part of that the behavioral detection teams. you know you see a lot of the security. behind the scenes you've got two things biological radio

technical things. they'll be moving all day who have that detection equipment and more sophisticated stuff. and, you know when you get right down to it somewhere in a room, and we had this the last time, too, you know there's a bunch of guys sitting around playing cards, reading their blackberries and are standing by. that is a rendered save team cobbled together from two or three different agencies to dismantle a nuclear device if it were found. all of that is behind the scenes. >> there were incredible threats in 2008 but so far no credible threats as they see it? >> no, nothing on the radar this time. this there's a lot of threats they sort through. they move u it through like a machine. they assess it run it down. last time there were two threats. one was a major credible threat from al qaeda that a group from somalia was going to attack the inauguration. the other was a guy coming down from boston with a suicide vest and both of those ended up washing out. but they certainly -- they certainly brought up the tension

level. this time it's a little calmer. >> the president is already the most heavily guarded man in the world, but on a big event like today when he gives his inaugural address, how is he protected? >> well, this is an entire package that comes with an event this size with the counter counter-sniper teams, the package he usually travels with, and the motorcades. the dicey moment for the protectors and the best moment for the president is on the parade when he pops out of the car. you never know where that's going to happen and then he works the crowd. that thrills the crowd. i know the president enjoys it. but if you're one of the secret service agents that's when the hairs all jump to attention on the back of your neck. >> how much do you worry about a lone wolf? >> well charlie, the lone wolf is what they worry about a lot. last week i walked through the extra tee jij center for the fbi and jenny lay and when you're

looking at the international threat picture what you're focusing on is networks. and there's sources and collection and intercepts. with the lone wolf that's the guy who's going to end up in the crowd, it's the john david hinkley, it's the lee harvey oswald. it's the one who's probably talked to in one and that's where you have a zero intelligence base and that's where the secret service really really earn a mix of sun and clouds. 33 downtown. we'll have a mix of sun and clouds and a chance of snow showers later on. look at tomorrow and wednesday and

chronic plaque psoriasis... well, it was really embarrassing. so i had a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection.

forecast, good today at 44, but arctic air tomorrow and wednesday, highs in the 20s. the third, ninth and 12th street tunnels are shut down for inauguration. let's take a look at the 14th street bridge. the seventh street exit also slowed down. delays passing route one, otherwise looking good in college park. back to you, mike. a beautiful vantage point. our coverage of the inauguration is not complete without you at home. log onto the facebook fan page and tell us your inauguration story. we're so glad to be covering it today. we'll see you back here in a half hour.

welcome back to "cbs this morning" from the national mall here in washington. it's the day every president hopes for, the chance to be sworn in for a second term. we'll look back at some of the most famous inaugural speeches. first it was the bangs. now michelle obama want to see the dress the first lady will wear tonight. but first here's a look at what we're covering this morning in our eye opener. >> and will to the best of my ability preserve protect, and defend the constitution of the united states. >> so help you god? >> so help me god.

>> congratulations, mr. president. >> president obama begins a second term in the white house. >> president obama did not divulge much. >> the big speech characterizes it. >> it talks about the values and the visions and the ideals that bring us to this very moment of america. >> i would hope the president would use the opportunity to say i won the election, but this is now for all americans. >> four years ago t area was absolutely packs with people. >> waters around washington will be closed. >> he popped out of the car. if you're one of the secret the time when the hairs all jump to attention on the back of your neck. the death toll from the terrorist attack in algeria has reached 81. >> at least one american is among the dead. very cool temperatures across portions of the midwest. >> windchills down to minus 50. >> this team the swearing-in was flawless. >> and his daughter sasha took note. >> all that --

>> to the end for a touchdown. the 49ers are going to the super bowl. >> i want to thank my parents, and go ravens. >> and baltimore is heading to new orleans! >> i can't wait to be in new orleans. >> i know. it's either the harbowl or the brobowl. >> all he has to do is find some way to get congress and the white house and washington working again. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> i love michelle obama. to address the most significant event of this weekend, i love her bangs. she looks good. she always looks good. >> and he should. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. more than half a million people are expected here on the national mall this morning for the president's inauguration. >> that's less than half the

number from four years ago, but that's still a lot of people and can set a record for the largest second inaugural. we begin this hour's coverage with byron pitts. he's at the west front of the capitol where the swearing-in ceremony is just a few hours away now. byron, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we're at the foot of the capitol where some 30,000 people will be seated closest to the podium. capitol police opened the gates at 6:30 this morning and the lines were already long. people have come from around the globe. these people have come from a long way. you're from arizona. >> yes, sir. good morning. >> reporter: why come this far in the cold. >> the opportunity to represent my people the navajo nation from the four corners of the world and to witness the inauguration of one of the most powerful people in the world. it's an opportunity. >> reporter: this couple is from california. you were here four years ago. >> my name is aubrey van bur

rehn. >> reporter: how is it different from last time. >> it was a historic moment. everybody wanted to be here. you told your kids they could be president of the united states or do anything they wanted to do, but you really weren't sure. so when this happened four years ago, it's proof that you can do anything you want to do. anything is possible. >> reporter: it's been a tough four years certainly for this president. any disappointment coming back this time? are you as enthusiastic as you were four years ago? >> oh yeah. very much so. the fact that we have a black president, that's something we never thought we'd see in our lifetime, so this is really something. >> reporter: thank you both so much. enjoy the day. thank you all. charlie, gayle, norah, back to you. >> byron pitts, thanks. every four years the nation and much of the world focuses on the president's inaugural address. we still remember some of those speeches, but others have been forgotten. we go now from the national mall to bill plante. he's at the white house with look at some of the hits and

misses of the past. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. you know inaugural addresses are all about a president's vision and that, of course, is what we expect to hear from president obama today, but we went back and had a look at some previous inaugural addresses, and we found that what presidents say the first time around is much more likely to be remembered than what they say the second time. president john f. kennedy's inaugural address was one for the history books. kennedy's words inspired a generation mired in the cold war, and they're remembered still more than 50 years later. >> ask not what your country can do for you. ask what you can do for your country. >> reporter: franklin delano roosevelt lifted people's spirits too. he used the first of his four inaugural addresses to start the healing of a nation badly broken

from the great depression. >> the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. >> reporter: more than a generation later when nearly 2 million people crowded onto the national mall to see the swearing in of the first african-american president, it was a moment of national unity. but as this historian notes when the president gives his second inaugural address, the magic for the most part is lost. >> they are not as impressive not as compelling as first inaugural spices. >> don baer who was a speech righter for clinton says the most recent speeches whether by eisenhower, fdr, reagan clinton, or george w. bush don't soar to the same heights as they're measured against the reality of the first four years. >> well the first inaugural is sort of like a new baby right? there's so much expectation and potential. the second is like an

adolescent, a teenager. we know it didn't quite turn out exactly the way we hoped. >> reporter: that's why we don't remember much about those second inaugural speeches. george washington's was known only for its brevity. the shortest ever at 135 words. he didn't really want another term. ronald reagan's second inaugural and speech were indoors. the temperature outside was only a few degrees above zero. there is one major historical exception to awe-inspiring second inaugural addresses. abraham lincoln's speech just weeks before he was assassinated. with the civil war about to end, lincoln urged the nation to unite as one, with malice toward none, with charity for all. let us strive on, he said, to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. now, the speech president obama will give today, of course will lay out his vision for the country's future. he'll be talking about his hope that the partisan disagreements

of washington won't keep the administration and congress from finding some common ground. there'll be more details on february 12th in the state of the union address. mr. obama may be meditating over what he's going to say as he heads from the white house across lafayette park in the next half hour for a prayer service at st. john's church. charlie, norah, gayle? >> bill plante, thank you. with us now are dee dee myers of "vanity fair" magazine and press secretary and author douglas brinkley. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> these inaugurals are always historic. now we have three presidents in a row who have served two terms. that's unusual. it's only happened one other time. you were recently with the president. he's thinking a lot about hesitate second term isn't he? >> absolutely. how did he time manage the first term and can you time manage the

second one better. memore more importantly he's looking at abraham lincoln's inaugural. afterward there was a big mob of people coming to meet lincoln. he did a meet andldd greet. and they didn't want to let him into the mansion. he said i saw you out there in the crowd. he said you're the one person i wanted to have a word with. what did you think? he said mr. lincoln, the speech was sacred. and that meant everything to lincoln and here frederick douglass is the person we need to think more as we build d.c. the african-american culture museum. >> do you think it has to be an iconic speech for it to be a good speech? >> as often in culture it's often important. it's such words that you can carve it in marble or at the very least have it as great twitter. but -- >> 140 characters or less. >> it's also important to say

something. some of them are just like sing-song and there's a lot of music to them but they're very forgettable. george her berpt walker bush which nobody mentioned i think was a good one. he was telling us democracy was coming to russia and the berlin wall came down later that year. >> dee dee, he has a wide world here. what's the right tone? >> i think he's not talking to political leaders today. he's talking to american people. even beyond that, people around the world. i think it's very important that he send a message that he's president of all americans. he tried to reach out to people who didn't vote for him. i think it's very important that he does that again, to say we need to work together. that was a message loud and clear in the season. they want people to come together and i think he has an opportunity again to bring people again even though second

inaugurals and second terms are much more partisan by definition. >> when you look what he's considering now, he also has to be cognizant -- you would remember this -- of the fact that there's not much time. >> there's not much time. >> opportunity for a president to act and define himself. >> in the second term because the midterm elections will be definitive. he has a period between now and when that starts to make his most important accomplishments of his second term which will define the second term in many ways. that's why you see him working so hard right now to work on gun control legislation and immigration, reaching out to americans and having conversation on energy. >> a lot of work to be done and an opportunity to accomplish it. >> george w. bush had katrina seven months in and but you believe you can still accomplish a lot.

>> absolutely. look at what eisenhower did. he dealt with little rock and civil rights. ike created nasa created anwar de demilitarized antarctica. and bill clinton, what would he have been without a second term. he's able to go around and talk about surplus because he had a second term. ronald reagan. i'm tire of hearing about iran-contra. diplomacy with gorbachev was a big deal. >> so you're not worried about the second term. >> not only am i not, the president can't be. >> make sure his team is focused the agenda and getting things good morning. sun and clouds around today. it's going on a chilly one, but not as cold as four years ago.

34 now in town. 28 across the bay. good looking day today. inauguration day. sunshine, some clouds, breezy, chilly, some late afternoon flurries and snow there's a record number of women in the new congress however, they are still far outnumbered by the men. we'll ask three female senators just why they think that is ahead on "cbs this morning" from washington. we'll be right back. thn this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is brought to you by sponsor with an inside story on shingles.

the's clorox bleach. the crowd is gathering behind us, and they are very excited. the last time the president and the first lady celebrated inauguration day, they didn't just ride in the parade they walked a good part of the route. margaret brennan is at the plaza where the big show will roll by this afternoon. good morning, margaret. >> reporter: good morning to you. it just opened up to the public. the secret service, the police

have been prepping through the night. this is called freedom plaza because martin luther king wrote his "i have a dream" speech in a hotel just across the way. so there's some poetic res nons of that today on the holiday, of course. this spot is one of the few places on the parade route where you can see straight up to the capitol. the president will pass by here twice, and on his way back, of course, the crowds are hoping he'll get out and walk. tickets to this area to sit in the bleachers cost you around $40. so a lot of expectations. >> margaret brennan, thank you. and not all the attention is focused on the commander in chief. many eyes will be on which designer in hold the first lady will be wearing tonight. we'll show you why her choice will be the best of history when "cbs this morning" continues live from washington. your local news is next.

welcome back to "cbs this morning" from the national mall in washington, d.c. where the crowd continues to grow. when we arrived at 4:30 this morning there were a few people and as we sit here on the set, you can see the crowd for lack of a better phrase is fired up and ready to go. >> and we have a spectacular sunrise. >> yes, a spectacular sunrise and a lot warmer than four years ago. >> we remember. >> we'll be seeing president obama in a few minutes. let's go from the national mall to wyatt andrews who's outside st. john's eepiscopal church just

across the street from the white house. good morning. >> reporter: charlie, good morn dwroug ing to you. we're told president obama and his family will be here and the bidens shortly after that. what we're expecting a 15-minute service, a prayer service, not the ceremony episcopals get on sunday. an appearance by the very highly regarded st. john's choir. it's a thriving parish. it's growing. this is not a museum piece behind me. they have 1,100 members in the congregation congregation, 600 who got tickets here. we're told by the secret service they'll not allow standing room but it will be pretty packed in there. every first family going back to franklin roosevelt has started inauguration day by going to church here. the obamas and the bidens will

few full that this morning. "the new york times" once called reggie love president obama's personal aide share taker, basketball player and more. they traveled more than a million miles together. reggie love joins us at the table. >> good morning. i'm glad to be here today. >> i know you were the last person he saw when he gave his first inaugural address. you of most people would know how he's feeling, what he does. how would you compare this day to that day? >> i remember that day very vividly. >> of course. >> a few hundred yards across the mall he addressed almost 2 million people here in what was a historic day for the country. on that day, specifically, you know, there was definitely a moment a calmness where you sort of realized how important

that moment in time is before you walk out to address the american people as the new commander in chief. >> you all were trying to get your bearings at that point, don't you think? >> the first family had moved three times from the adams to the blair house to the white house. i think he made a joke about -- and i keep waking up in all these different places. i don't even know how to turn the lights on. >> he knows now. >> how has he changed, reggie? lots of people are writing today four years and that job changes >> four years and any job changes you, but when the buck kind of stops with you, i think there are a lot of moments in time where you're responsible for things that you never thought you'd be responsible for. everything from earthquakes in haiti to hurricanes and floods on the east coast that you've never seen in time.

i do think that he's changed in the sense that, you know he -- he definitely is more in touch with the american people and he's worried about the middle class and worried about making sure that the right things are going to be in place to give people an opportunity to live the american dream. >> and, reggie we are seeing now the president's limousine otherwise known as the beast, the big limousine, armored limousine pulling up outside of st. john's church otherwise known as the presidents' church. it's an american tradition. the president worshipping this morning. we'll watch as he gets out. you've rode in that limo many times as the president making sure everything was taken care of. and there we see the president this morning. the 44th president of the united states for the first time this morning and his wife the first lady, michelle obama. they'll be joined by vice

president joe biden and his family inside the church and there we see their two daughters, malia and sasha, the family dressed in purple on this occasion. >> are you having a little ping there? >> i tell you malia and sasha were not that tall last year. it's amazing to see how things have changed. >> you're not the only person who has left the administration. over the weekend there was a piece in "the new york times" that the first family feels they are more confident but more scared an more edd and more isolated. >> i think there's some truth to be said. when you go to the white house and you come with a team of folks who have been with you for two and a half years through what was a very tough campaign. for those people to stay for the first four years and to see most of those people leaving is tough because there's a level of trust he has with people like david

axelrod, with gibbs, and myself and it's hard to be able to bring in new people who you have that same level of comfort and trust with but i do tlinkhink there are great people there, folks -- >> and valerie. >> and valerie and folks they trust. they'll blend in and they'll figure it out and make it work. >> is there a moment that you would want to tell your children about with this president? >> so many moments for me. i'm blessed to have had the opportunity to travel around the world, to see first hand the pyramids in egypt with the president, the great wall and to even have a moment where my college basketball coach and the president are in the oval office with me together. >> and now we have vice president biden's motorcade arriving at st. john's church. he will join the president there

in worship this morning along with his family. and they will have a service there and then head up here to capitol hill where we'll hear from the president and swearing in just before noontime eastern time when the president will deliver his second inaugural address. reggie, in moments like this, is he nervous? does he get nervous? >> i think the second time around you're a little less nervous, but still you understand the severity and the impactfulness of the moment and i think there's always a little bit of butterflies before you go out to execute on what is going to be your vision and plan for the american people. >> do you think he feels the same sense of possibility that he did four years ago? >> i mean i think, you know he -- i'm -- he thinks of this as the greatest country on earth, but in the last four years,

think we've seen that it has been difficult to sort of do all of the things that he's wanted to do for this country. you have a new congress that's just been sworn in in the last month, and i think people probably are looking forward to getting to know a lot of the new members and understanding what our are -- what are the possibilities that can happen with this new congress in the second term. >> you were called the body man responsible for the body of the president. what do you know about him in terms of who he really is that most of us don't quite know? >> that's a great question. and i tell people all the time that -- and i think gayle and i were speaking about this earlier. you know he is the president of the united states. when he leaves office he's going to have a great, fantastic life afterward. but i think how much time he actually spends focusing on and

better for the middle class, i think that is one of the things that's really core to him. and, you know he stays up 2:00, 3:00 in the morning reading briefings, reading old books on former presidents and trying to come up with new ideas on how can we sort of move the ball forward for this country. and that's one of the things that i'm always impressed with that he works tirelessly for the american people all the time. >> reggie thank you so much. >> before we go what is michelle obama wearing tonight, reggie? >> what i do know regardless of who made it it will look stunning. >> reggie love always the diplomat. good morning. we've got some cold temperatures, but comfortably cold with 20s and low 30s. 34 right now at reagan national. you need to bundle up.

a few more clouds this afternoon. 39 by lunchtime with a high of 34. could be late day evening snow showers. tomorrow and wednesday,

today's inauguration is a big deal but many americans are thinking more about tonight. they want to see what michelle obama will wear to the inaugural ball. you just heard reggie love tell us whatever it is it will be stunning. all that attention can be life-changing for the first lady's designer. jan crawford is inside with that story. good morning. >> reporter: michelle obama's dress from four years ago is on display at the smithsonian. in fact, it is one of the most popular exhibits in the smithsonian exhibits. i remember going there with my mom as a little girl. there's something magical about it. and, gayle, let me tell you what. the designers of those gowns are well aware of that. >> it looks lighter and a little fresher. >> for dallas designer michael faircloth, the man behind laura bush's first inaugural gown, the

assignment of a lifetime came with a special challenge. he got a late start. >> mrs. bush would never, ever look at a sketch a piece of fabric until the election was totally settled. >> reporter: in 2000 that took until mid-december when the supreme court decided bush versus gore. >> i remember sitting there, it was like oh thank heaven. now we can get going. >> reporter: he called her the next day to show her sketches he had been working on in secret. he had about a month to make the dress. >> reporter: you have to consider everything. >> oh, yes, absolutely. how it dances up and down the stairs. >> reporter: how it dances? >> yes. >> reporter: what do you mean? >> when we were sitting with mrs. bush at the ranch house and looking at the flow of it and seeing if it was danceable. >> she said, let's dance. and we danced across the floor. >> reporter: designers receive instant recognition. four years ago jason wu was a relative newcomer when michelle

obama chose his direct but unlike faircloth wu didn't know until michelle obama appeared. >> i'm in chicago and then two months later she wore it. i was in my living room having pizza and then i -- i was with a couple of friends. i said i think that's my dress. >> reporter: wu's and faircloth's dresses are part of history with a permanent home. >> they're really a walking billboard for the american fashion industry and that the inaugural gown is a great time to showcase american fashion and american designers. >> reporter: the gowns date back to 1829. currently on display, roslyn carters from 1977. a dress she wore twice before wearing it a third time to her husband's inauguration. >> there were some people that were not happy with that and who criticized her for wearing a dress that she had worn before.

>> reporter: why? >> i think partly it's new, it's special, you want the drama of something new. the country wants the drama of something new. >> reporter: there's nancy glamorous white one-shoulders dress from 1981. hillary clinton's long purple gown from 1993 and in the center of them all, michelle obama's from 2009. >> the shoes, the jewelry. this all seems so intimate. the first lady's feet were in those shoes. it feels very personal. >> i think people feel as if they're gaining this personal connection with a woman they feel as if they know. >> reporter: now, mrs. obama's dress again this year is a closely guarded secret as reggie love told you guys. the office is not releasing any details until mrs. obama appears in public tonight but we've gotten one kind of include about her one style, the hair style, and as the president said over the weekend, he does love the bangs. gayle? >> a lot of people do. thank you, jan. i think it's so interesting, guys, that even the designer

doesn't know until you see the first lady appear. >> until the very last minute. there was a moment this morning where she's narrowed it down to two designers. >> it will be interesting. coming up we're going to speak with the republican speaker eric cantor. wo up with ts horrle sh on right sid iense burni sensaon keomebody ha set it on re. d e doctor sd, cine, u havehingles. sd, you hadhickenx en youere a litt girl.

well, when this day of pageantry is over the president has to work with congress on a debt deal and deal with the

priorities of his second term agenda. he's expected to set a tone for those talks in his inaugural address. republican house leader eric cantor is at the capitol. congressman, good morning. >> good morning. >> so what can the president say in this inaugural address that will make a difference for you and your fellow republican leaders? >> well, you know today is a historic day. there's a lot of excitement here around the capitol this morning, and i know i'm looking forward to hearing the president's inaugural speech today. it's day that reminds us of the fact that we all are in this together. no matter who you voted for, no matter where you are philosophically, it's about america today and i hope we can take that spirit after today going forward to get to work for the people. >> and why do you think that hasn't been true in the past? >> well, i mean listen. there's some very weighty issues, some extremely challenging items that we've got on the agenda. and i do hope though that we can begin to get down to work as

soon as possible try to set aside the differences that have been plaguing washington over the past couple of years, and actually get something done. >> do you think it will be different this time around, eric cantor? >> well, i certainly hope so. i think that there's an expectation coming out of the election that the american people are going to see a fellow government that works and that works for them, and perhaps we can get about that business right away and looking forward, again, to the president kicking this off in a way that all of us can rally together. >> you've just returned from a retreat with fellow republicans talking about how you're going to move forward. it sounds like there's a sense of being more conciliatory as you want to pass a three-month extension on the debt limit. is that what came out of your conference? >> well, i think going back to the election again, i think it's important to remember the message from the people was they want a government that works, and where we came out of the

retreat last week as republican house members is that we want a government that works. we need a spending plan. and that's why we've asked the senate to join us in actually passing a budget so we can begin to see how we're going to pay off this debt how we're going to spend other people's money, the taxpayer money, and begin an earnest discussion about the real issues facing this country both fiscally and otherwise, and that's i think, the explanation for our position on the debt creeling. >> eric cantor you know the senate led by the democrats hasn't passed a budget in four years. what makes you hopeful they'll put forth something this year? >> well i think times demand as much, and my takeaway again, from this election is the people want to see a government that works. they want their life to work again. and it's team that washington get with it and that is why i believe hopefully the senate can

see clear to doing a budget putting a spending plan out there for the world to see, all of us in this country, so we can begin to unite around the things that bring us together set aside our differences, and get a result. >> do you feel the president's been tougher since the election? >> well, i think the president, you know, is certainly due the status as the victor in the election, but today he's commander in chief, and i think everyone is here to witness history in the making and i'm hopeful he can take the voter's confidence and translate that into a unifying message to bring all sides together now because i do think it's high time that we do that. >> all right. the american people will certainly be happy to hear that. eric cantor, thanks so much for joining us. we'll have more of our special inaugural coverage at the top of the hour. stay with us. you're watching "cbs this morning" from washington. and your local news is next.

morning." president obama begins a new term in the white house. we'll look at the new term with scott pelley and kristen gillibrand. and james taylor singing after the campaign. he'll explain what he got so involved. here's a look at this eye opener. >> the addresses are all about the president's vision. that's what e we expect to hear from president obama today. >> now it's a question of reuniting the country around

some big issues. >> you're not worried about a second term. >> i'm not worried. i don't think the president is worried about that. he has to move forward. >> why come this far? >> it's an opportunity to represent my people. the ultimate celebration of democracy creates the ultimate test of security. >> secret service has been prepping through the night. >> this is an entire package that comes this size with the countersniper team and the motorcade. >> definitely more in touch with the american people. it's been a long time. as it is now. >> not all the attention is focused on the commander-in-chief. many will be on who the first lady will be wearing tonight. we have to consider everything. >> how the dress moves dances. >> what's she wearing tonight? >> i do know regardless of who made it it will look stunning.

>> i'm charley rods with gail king. we'll hear president obama's second inaugural address. the president and his family left the white house to attend a church service. here's the schedule for later today. at 10:45, the president will leave the white house and go to it the capitol where the ceremonies will begin. at 11:30 the president will take the oath of office. that's followed by lunch at the capitol. it's scheduled to begin at 2:30 eastern time. we have team coverage this morning. we want to go to major garrett at the white house. >> reporter: good morning. the president and first family and vice president biden and his family still in the church service just across lafayette square. that service is expected to last about 50 minutes. it's an inauguration day

tradition that dates back to franklin delano roosevelt. he chose back then to pay the rental fee and every president since then has prayed or worshipped at st. john's church. the president will go to the west front of the capitol and give his second inaugural address. running time is about 18 to 19 minutes. not heavy on details but bringing people and the country together. that means congress as well. perhaps i would suggest a new level of interaction between this president and republicans in the house. we'll see. and i'm told the president started working on this speech after christmas when he came back from hawaii to work on the fiscal cliff. he was still working on it yesterday afternoon. so up until the last minute, e revision revisions, extensions and the president's speech is ready. we'll hear it shortly. >> major garrett, thank you.

president obama's second term has just begun, but the 113th congress was sworn in more than two weeks ago. the partisan fighting is already under way. can the new congress be more productive than the last one? let's ask kirsten gillibrand. good morning, how are you? >> i'm well. >> you have described congress as dysfunctional. can we expect anything will change in the new year? >> of course, i'm hopeful. what we need are people to come together to get thing its done. i'm particularly hopeful in the senate because we elected 20 new women to the senate. many of them democrats. i think it will make a big difference in terms of finding bipartisan support for major legislation and reaching consensus to get things done. >> how do you push that reset button? >> there's a lot of urgent

issues that need to be addressed. we have the fiscal cliff in front of us. we have a tough economy we need to grow our way out of. that will need attention. we also have moral issues that really need to be addressed like gun violence in society. we have immigration reform that's so necessary for our long-term health of the nation. i think these are issues that people understand are urgent and need care and attention now. >> senator, chuck schumer said he will support chuck hagel for defense secretary. will you?h him one-on-one so i can make sure the concerns i have can be addressed. i have had a brief phone call with him on issues i care deeply about, issues of iran, with regard to women in the millitary, and implementing the don't ask don't tell repeal. >> i know many people pointed fingers at house republicans for being obstructionists but

democrats in the senate have not the put forward a budget. do you expect that to change? >> we did have a budget. it was the budget act of last year. it is what has mandated the tough cuts that are facing us in the future. the sequestration is because of the budget we put in place. we're going to look at these issues. most people want to avoid the tough cuts under se crest ration. they want a more refined and balanced approach. so that's the work we're going to look at in the next month. >> senator gillibrand thank you so much. >> thank you. i hope everyone enjoys inauguration inauguration. >> this is a day of celebration for president obama. tomorrow he gets back to work taking on a long list of challenges. scott pelley is covering the inauguration. he's with washington correspondent bob schieffer. good morning. >> good morning. >> i'd love to hit both of you.

reflect on what you hope to see and hope to hear in this inaugural address this afternoon. >> we don't know much about the speech at this point. but the second inaugural addresses are usually about bringing the country together. i'm sure he'll talk about bringing the parties together to move the country forward. but we don't have the details on the address yet. the president has been advised, we are told, to quote from a woman in the speech because best we can tell from the historical record no president has ever quote quoted from a woman in an inaugural address. he's been advised to do so. it will be interesting to see if he does that. >> that's something new. i hadn't realized that. they are keeping this under very tight to the vest. you heard major garrett and that's about all we know.

it's about 19 minutes. that's about all we know about it so far. i think you had robert gibbs saying it was about bringing us together. certainly there's a lot to do on that front because the nation even though the president was reelected, the nation remains deeply divided over a variety of issues. the republican party itself is divided. so this is going to be trying to get everybody to work together. i think at this point the whole political system is broken. i think he has his work cut out for him. >> you lot of these. let's take a look at some of them in this piece. >> the topic of conversation was when colonel sanders came in and several of the congressmen spotted him and word went through and everybody got a lot of fun out of that.

that's been the main topic of conversation. >> he appears in a lot of places. he's not really scheduled to be. >> the hostages were airborne but they are not yet out of the air space. what will be remembered here is not so much what barack obama said today but the fact that barack obama was inaugurated today. >> coming back to the conversation here. >> can you please explain your hair back then? >> there was more. >> you have to have white hair to be a great anchorman. >> we keep hearing about the traditional during the inauguration period. are you seeing a sense of that today? >> gail i didn't hear your question entirely. would you run it past me one

more time? >> i kept hearing all morning about a traditional truce during the ip august ral period today. are you seeing any evidence of that with the people you're talking to today on both sides? >> a traditional truce, i understand. republicans are large lyly out of town today. we invited a number of notable republicans to appear with us on the set during our coverage, which is going to last all day today. they almost to a man and woman told us they weren't going to be in washington today. so it's interesting that you should mention that because inauguration day is that one day after a rank rous campaign where the nation is supposed to come together and pay at least lip service to coming together. but so far as bob alluded to earlier, we'll. be looking forward to another four years of partisan divide. >> i do think on this particular

day, i think you will see there will be a sense of decorum. this won't be like 1968 when some demonstrators threw rocks at nixon's limousine. i think you'll see everybody on good behavior today. i think, you know inaugural time is when e we hear some of the better speeches. i expect the president will deliver a good speech today and i think for one moment here i think everything will be peace and light. it may not last very long. good morning. it's a cold start. sunshine in spots, clouds in others. temperatures down in the mid- to upper 20s in the northern suburbs. up to 35 in dc. and it was only 30 for the high as we started in the teens. sunshine now still at reagan

in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible. go, go, go, go! bye sweetie. honey what are you doing? we gotta go!

you won't see many republicans at today's events

home. today should be a nonpartisan moment for both parties starting with the the president's speech. good morning. >> good morning. >> i know you were just a republican retreat with house members. what was the decision about how to work with the president in the new term. >> the key on a day like this is for everyone to reach across the aisle, for everyone to listen to each other and make the commitment that going forward you can't have what you had over the last few years. there has to be a sense of cooperation to get the job done on a lot of the challenges facing the country. >> frank, four years ago you had a session with leading republicans and what came out of that was a plan to confront the president, a plan to weaken the president and a to do list for republicans. are you saying as you try to put together another dinner that the attitude will be different and more cooperative for the second

term of the president? >> it's interesting. i talked to the author of the person who talked about the dinner. it was never about confrontation. it was about being relevant. republicans who lost the house, senate and white house. they were virtually irrelevant. they gathered to talk about how to represent the percent of americans that voted republican. that was about relevancy, not about standing in anyone's way. it was a commitment that the 46% of american who is voted republican should be heard as well as the 54% who voted for barack obama. >> if you have another dinner, what should come out of it? >> if i had another dinner -- >> why are we talking about dinner? >> i haven't eaten since like two days ago. >> he's talking about republicans coming together to figure out what they are going to do. >> the public is saying stop with the yelling, stop with the

bickering, get it done. the deficit, spending just stop already and start talking to each other. that's why inaugurations, that's why this is so important because this is a chance to reset everything and put the focus on the public rather than on the election. >> so frank, what about the people who voted for mitt romney? what do they need to hear today from president obama in your opinion? >> they need a recognition that they matter. it's a fair question. there's a segment on both sides, republican and democrat that won't listen to the other. but for the vast majority of americans that are some place in the middle all they want is a president of the whole country. republican independent, democrat, left and right. all they are looking for is a vision for the future that shows respect for hard-working taxpayers, a commitment to get the deficit and debt in order. an effort to bring america together. >> frank lunts, thank you very

much. james taylor will perform at today's ceremony. we'll ask why he's such a barack obama supporter. that's ahead on "cbs this morning."

welcome to our special coverage. >> we have a large team covering the event today, the 57th inauguration here in the united states. scott spent the night embedded with the men and women from fort myers and this morning he joins them at the pentagon. good morning. >> reporter: yeah, those guys have moved on to the parade route. joining me now is the honor guard of the u.s. marine corp. we are here at the pentagon parking lot where you get a remarkable sense of the security that is in place this is an entirely secure area. and some of the 200 and something buss that are moving more than 9,000 members of the parade four miles to the capitol. everybody here goes through full security before they get near the capitol for the parade

later today. we have at least 9,000 participants in the parade, members of all five armed services and the parade will start at 2:30 this afternoon. and the end of the parade is going to be where my colleague is standing right now. >> yes, i think i'm going to get the best part of the parade because the president is going to be sitting down there with the first family, the vice president, the second family, all right here. this is supposed to be a celebration of democracy and i am happy to be part of the celebration. even in this era, you know, of video games and iphones and computer screens, americans still love a great parade and we are expecting hundreds of thousands of people down here watching. folks are already chanting lean on me watching as the joint services goes marching by. so it will be remarkable and it's remarkable down on the mall which is where my

colleague is. >> reporter: hey, there. here on the national mall there, is an air of excitement and a spirit of comradery. but we are simply not seeing the crowds that we saw at the first obama inauguration back in 2009. still, security here is extraordinary with reenforcements brought in from places like chicago, south florida and iowa. president barack obama will be taking that oath of office around noon. and then he will make the inaugural speech. and then at 12:30, we will hear the national anthem sung by none other than beyonce. howard, that is something to anticipate. >> yeah, and it should be a nicer afternoon than what we had four years ago with the high of 306789 sunshine now, but areas are clouding. 40 by noon. with 44 about the high for the day. tonight though arctic boundary arrivals with maybe snow showers.

right now, the upper 20s. and now 34 in centerville. so the forecast today, 44 degrees. breezy, some late afternoon and evening snow showers. yellow alert for the cold tomorrow and wednesday. highs in the mid-20s. and lows in the single digits by wednesday morning. and then look at the seven-day forecast, thursday still in the 20s. friday could be a wintry mix mess here. we will watch that and a dry and warming weekend coming this way. mike, over to you. >> all right. beautiful sunshine and more elbow room, what more could you ask for? thank you and stay tuned for live coverage of the inauguration all day long. >> we will be live onair throughout the afternoon. we will see you back here about a half hour from now.

welcome back to contract cbs this morning" from the national mall in washington, d.c. the presidential inauguration begins in two hours at the west front of the u.s. capitol. the crowd has been gathering ever since we sat down this morning. they are very psyched here. >> every time you turn around, there's a few hundred more people. >> they say the crowds are going to be smaller, but already the mall is full.up i guess. or almost full. >> we know what you mean. byron pitts is in the crowd. >> reporter: how are you? >> i'm doing well on one hour of sleep and 12 ounces of red bull. >> reporter: you look great. thank you for talking to us. why was it important for you to be here today? >> i was here the last

inauguration, which was historic. this is as well. for a continuation of another four years. >> reporter: does it seem different this time? >> it's a little less people by a million or so. but just as exciting. i think the enthusiasm is just as high. a little more calm and more organized. we didn't know what to expect. >> reporter: i understand you are playing coretta scott king in a movie. and today is mlk today. >> yes. mary j. blige and myself. wonderful movie. it's about continuing the legacy of martin luther king and how these women were able to allow their legacy to live on and not die on that balcony in memphis. >> reporter: thank you so much. guys back to you. >> byron pitts, thank you so much.

today's inauguration will have music by james taylor. he's no stranger to washington or to politics. >> i can't stop thinking about the government the state of the nation. >> reporter: the nation's capitol is familiar territory to song writer james taylor. he's performed here many times before including president obama's inauguration in 2009. >> another inauguration. >> yes. this is familiar in a way because it's very exciting to be here for barack obama's second inauguration. it's very full liling, very gratifying. i love barack obama. i think -- it's almost as though

we feel it's an accident or a very -- just very fortuitous chance that we have such a normal standup, regular american. >> you're happy with the first term? >> particularly under the circumstances, i was happy with how well he handled a terrible situation. >> the economic crisis. >> crisis and also a divided country. and a country on the cusp of a new century. we invent ourselves in america as we go forward. >> paralysis seems to be the order of the day. and politics, the fear. >> you called for reasonable dialogue. that's what we need. >> yeah. i do feel as though although i'm a yellow dog democrat.

>> explain to america what that is. >> it's a southern expression i think. ♪ winter spring summer or fall ♪ >> for the 1972 campaign of george mcgovern. ♪ how sweet it is ♪ >> he dm straited he e has a talent for political fundraising. he and his wife brought in $10 million for the obama campaign. >> it was the largest grass roots movement ever. >> reporter: he briefly considered a run in politics for the massachusetts senate seat should john kerry be confirmed for secretary of state.

>> i spoke to a lot of friends of mine. >> what did they say? >> what an interesting idea and some of them said yeah i think you could win it if you wanted it. mostly they said you should think really carefully about whether that's wh to do. ♪ i've seen fire and i've seen rain ♪ >> reporter: for the time being at least, what james taylor is meant to do is make more music. he promises a new album is still to come but for today's inauguration he chose to sing a patriotic anthem. >> it's a nice tune that you're singing. >> it is. "america the beautiful" is a beautiful thing. it's a version of the song that i have been playing for a couple years. and i know the song well. i've got a good shot at it

tomorrow. >> yes, you do. i suspect that you will. what could go wrong? >> nothing. nothing could go wrong. >> very interesting. >> i don't think anything is going to go wrong for james taylor today. >> and now we see the president and the first family leaving the church of the presidents where the president sits in pew 54. attending services this morning, which is tradition on inauguration along with the vice president joe biden and his family. there you see the president with his daughters, his arm around his youngest daughter. looks like purple was the word of the day. purple the color. and the first family will head back to the white house and then in about an hour from now,

they'll make their way up here to capitol hill. speaking of capitol hill, that's where we find nancy cordes. >> reporter: good morning to you. there are three choirs that have been selected to perform today. the brooklyn tabernacle choir, choir from lee university in tennessee, and the choir that's performing right now. it's a group of 65 fifth graders from ps22 on staten island. senator chuck schumer of new york is the chairman of the inaugural committee. they are from staten island which was so hard hit by superstorm sandy. they performed at the oscars and they are singing god bless the "usa today." james taylor is performing today. kelly clarkson will be singing

"my country tis of thee." and beyonce singing "the star spangled banner." >> it has to be an honor to be selected by the president to sing. thinking about james taylor it was interesting to note if it would have gone differently, he would have been senator taylor. >> he said the right thing. i should do what i love and do what i do best. >> when real estate people talk about location location blair house has it all. margaret brennan is there to show us what's inside. margaret good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. blair house is about location location, location. it's the president's guest
